Description

Headstone. c1894. Carved stone. The headstone has slightly narrowed sides with carved foliage at the top leading to a band decorated with rosettes with the pointed arch top framing a relief carving of a sailing boat.

The inscription records James Davies, 1826-1893, and his wife, Ann, d.1907. James Davies was the coxswain of the Cromer lifeboat and it is possible that the relief portrays it.

A fine headstone to the coxswain of a sailed and rowed lifeboat which is probably portrayed in a relief carving. Forms a group with the listed chapel and three other listed headstones in Cromer cemetery.
